SUMMARY
The proper notation for recursion in LaTeX requires attention to detail in syntax, particularly the use of forward slashes in closing tags. A common mistake is using a backslash instead of a forward slash in the closing itex tag, which prevents the formula from displaying correctly. This discussion highlights the importance of correct LaTeX notation to ensure proper typesetting of mathematical expressions.
